A number of other A-list animal lovers turned up to show their support on Friday night, including Kate Mara, Paul Wesley, Malin Akerman and Rob Thomas and his wife Marisol.

The event, which took place at Cipriani 42nd Street, raised over $3 million.

Equestrian Georgina Bloomberg, who works with the organization, told us of raising funds, “People are always wondering what we’re raising money for and, basically, animals need people working year-round to go out and help them and that’s what this raises money for.”

“I’ve gone on a lot of puppy mill raids and different animal rescues with [The Humane Society] and I’ve been to Puerto Rico twice with them and I was just recently in South Dakota and all that takes a lot of money,” she added.

The gala was also graced with special appearances by three Instagram-famous fur balls: Toast, Finn Hearst and Ella Bean.
